Heroes of the War of Resistance

Even if he knew that Hu Biao was doing this to buy people's hearts, but after getting in touch with Hu Biao, Lin Jian felt that it was indeed their honor to have such an officer.Compared with other generals, Hu Biao did not regard them as outsiders.

After resting for a whole day, most of the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of guards, who were not sleepy, followed the task force and marched again, and arrived at the outside of Shucheng to lurk.Looking at the Japanese troops who had already set up defenses at the top of the city, many officers and soldiers did not seem too anxious.

Before coming, Hu Biao had already told them that they would not attack the city tonight, but would only block it.If the little devils in the city don't come out, they will stand still and return to the mountain when it is almost dawn.

If the little devil in the city dares to come out, beat the little devil back.This also means that there may be no gains in fighting tonight, but there is no danger.Instead, maybe they get to watch a stunning fireworks display.

And Hu Biao, who led the troops here at this moment, actually also wanted to know, after the explosives planted in the city were detonated, would the little devils who went to the city to rest choose to abandon the city and flee, or choose to defend the city?

Chapter Directory Chapter [-] The Drama of Burning the City

Compared with camping in the wild, the Japanese infantry brigade who rushed to Shucheng finally chose to stay in the city.Even when they first entered the city, they encountered dead bodies and bloody battle scenes in the streets, and the Japanese army still felt safer in the city.

The barracks in the city that had been captured were also quickly cleared by the Japanese army.The supplies and ammunition that came with them were also sent to the warehouses in the city one after another.I found a well-preserved house to serve as the brigade's temporary headquarters.

Before entering the city, in order to ensure the safety of the city, the Japanese army naturally searched the whole city.It turned out that, apart from picking up some abandoned corpses, the little devil who was in charge of the search did not find a living person at all.

Even though many Japanese soldiers were mentally prepared, it was really uncomfortable for everyone to confirm that the entire cavalry regiment was wiped out.Looking at the thousands of corpses that had been restrained, and the little devils who were ordered to reinforce them, they all felt very depressed.

On the way to Shucheng, the infantry brigade was killed and injured by a roadside bomb.They were angry before, but now seeing that the cavalry regiment that arrived earlier than them was wiped out, they suddenly felt lucky that at least many of them were alive.

It is clear that these corpses must be dealt with as soon as possible, and then the ashes will be sent back to the division.After setting up the temporary headquarters, the head of the infantry brigade ordered to take over the city defense, and at the same time ordered people to collect firewood for cremation of the dead officers and soldiers.

Such a large-scale cremation would probably take a lot of time.The problem is that for many Japanese soldiers who fought in the war, they did not want to be buried here, but wanted their remains to be cremated and sent back home.

In the eyes of these little devils, only by sending the ashes back to the country can their souls rest in peace and are eligible to be called heroic spirits.If they were buried on the battlefield, their souls would not be able to return to their homeland, and there would be no peace after death.

For the matter of finding firewood to burn the ashes, it is sufficient to have a grassroots officer organization.After entering the city, the head of the infantry brigade who immediately called the assistant officer for a meeting also said directly: "Have all the remains on the long street been cleaned up?"

"Report to the general, everything has been cleaned up. It is a pity that many remains are incomplete!"

"The remains of officers are burned separately, and then placed in jars or wooden boxes. The remains of soldiers, if the soldier's nameplate can be found, will be burned separately. If the list cannot be verified, they will be burned collectively, and then packed separately."

The head of the infantry brigade who had seen the battle scene before knew very well that many corpses on the long street were incomplete, and some even had no bones left.With such a corpse, it is impossible to confirm the list of the deceased, and it can only be dealt with afterwards.

This also means that the ashes that may be sent back to China in the future may not necessarily be the ashes of those family members.Many officials are well aware of this.This is why, the little devil is very afraid of the incomplete body.

After deploying the affairs that need to be dealt with as soon as possible after entering the city, the head of the infantry brigade continued: "The Chinese army is good at night raids. Although we sent people to search the whole city before and found no suspicious targets, we still cannot relax our vigilance.

From the harassment we encountered during the day to the battle scenes we saw in the city, the enemies we need to deal with are not simple.In order to ensure the safety of the camp, additional patrol posts will be sent tonight.Once there is an enemy situation, it must be dealt with immediately. "

"General, do you mean that the Chinese army that ambushed the cavalry regiment may still be lurking in the city?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out! The most important thing is that we were attacked during the march, which shows that our opponents are very aware of our every move. Tonight is critical. We must be more vigilant and not give the enemy an opportunity. "

"Hi!"

The end of the cavalry regiment really shocked the commander of the infantry brigade.I thought it would be relatively easy to rush to Shucheng this time.Now it seems that the enemy that the infantry brigade needs to face is far more difficult than imagined.

In this case, the only way to stand firm is to find out the opponent's situation before giving a fatal blow.Going into battle in a hurry will only result in losses outweighed the gains.Even if he had an infantry brigade in his hand, as the head of the brigade, he would not dare to be careless.

With the remaining combat troops and the first battalion of guards, Hu Biao, who was lurking outside Shucheng City, did not arrange artillery positions.In Hu Biao's view, the explosive trap deployed earlier is enough for the little devils stationed in Shucheng to drink a pot.

It seems that these little devils are strong and strong, but once they enter the city, they will be under Hu Biao's real-time monitoring.With this infantry brigade, Hu Biao can contain the main force of the remaining Japanese divisions, making him feel uncomfortable.

In Hu Biao's view, it is better to wait for the Japanese army to take action instead of attacking and harassing the Japanese army in the city.Judging from the size of the Japanese convoy during the day, Hu Biao felt that this group of Japanese troops did not carry much supplies, so they should not last long.

Coupled with the trap that may be detonated later, it will definitely blow up a batch of supplies or ammunition for the little devil.In addition, I believe that the casualties will be enough for the infantry brigade to have a headache.

If the little devil can't hold out in the city, then Hu Biao can gather the superior force in his hand to block or ambush the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army later.If the little devil goes out of the city, Hu Biao can continue to harass and harass the Japanese army.

Over time, even if Hu Biao doesn't attack, he will be able to trap these little devils to death.If artillery fire is used, it will scare the little devil away and make him make a move to withdraw from Shucheng.At that time, if you want to stop it, you may have to pay a high price.

Looking at the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of guards who were slightly excited and expectant, Hu Biao also said directly: "Tell the brothers, lie down! Don't attack or shoot at will. The little devils in the city don't leave the city. Let's stay here overnight. , and then go back to the mountain to continue to rest.”

"Yes, Captain!"

Lying in the jungle and grass near the road outside the city, many soldiers stared at Shucheng not far away.Looking at the little devils walking back and forth on the city wall from time to time, no one thought that this amount of troops would be able to attack Shucheng, which was heavily guarded.

The ambush that was fought on the long street in the city last night, if I want to do it again, I'm afraid it will be impossible.Therefore, many officers and soldiers do not have much confidence in whether they can win a battle tonight.Compared to staying in the mountains, it's actually nice to be able to go out for a walk.

Standing on a hilltop outside the city, Qin Tianyou looked at the constantly lit bonfires in the city, and asked curiously: "Detachment leader, what are you doing, kid? What are you lighting so many fires for? Is it for lighting? "

"Probably not! If I'm not mistaken, they should be burning the corpses. The little devils will definitely not choose to bury the corpses we abandoned in the city, but burn them into ashes and put them in a box, and finally send them back to the country."

"Hearing what you said, it's really possible! There are so many corpses, I'm afraid it's enough for a little devil to burn overnight!"

"It's okay! It's dark and windy tonight, maybe we have a chance to watch a big show that burns the city!"

Thinking of the huge amount of explosives buried in the city earlier, Hu Biao believed that the little devils stationed in Shucheng at this moment had no idea that they were sitting on the powder pile.Those well-preserved houses were buried with a lot of explosives.

As for the open space where the little devils might be stationed, explosives were also buried underground.Once these explosives are ignited, the mostly wooden houses in the city should be continuously ignited.At that time, the little devils staying in the city will really be horrible.

In fact, Hu Biao is also looking forward to how much power and lethality those explosives planted in the city can produce.If this infantry brigade can be severely damaged, perhaps Hu Biao will also change his combat plan and choose to take advantage of the fire.

If this newly arrived infantry brigade can be severely damaged, I believe that the remaining Japanese troops far away in Lu'an will also become very panicked!How to deal with this infantry brigade next depends on the effect of tonight's explosion.

The demolition team hiding in the cellar of the ruins in the city knew that the Japanese army had entered the city when the Japanese army launched a city-wide search.As far as the blasting team is concerned, they also know what the task of staying in the city is.

Although Hu Biao gave them the right to dispose of themselves, for these blasting team members, they also wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and then join the main force.Staying in the cellar every day, there is no day or night, and it is not much different from confinement.

Worried about the appearance of little devils who had been entered into the city, the lurking blasting team members chose to go out as little as possible. In the ruins outside the cellar, only one team member was arranged to carry out vigilant reconnaissance.In this way, every move of the little devils in the city cannot escape their surveillance.

In the open space of the barracks, the little devils who had entered the city were still burning the restrained corpses.The burned ashes were also successively packed into the urns that were carried.The box was not enough, so the little devil wrapped it in cloth to ensure that the ashes could be kept.

It was nearly midnight, and the blasting team, who was lurking near the barracks and was in charge of reconnaissance, returned to the cellar and said softly, "Leader, is it going to be bombed or not? I checked earlier, and there are many devils living in the detonation area we are in charge of!" "

Hearing the team members' inquiries, he raised his hand to look at the time on the watch. The team leader finally said: "It's time! Half an hour later, the buried fuse will start to be lit. After the matter is over, all evacuate to the north of the city, and don't love to fight!"

"understand!"

"out!"

The demolition team members who had been hiding in the cellar for a day, still wearing the little devil's military uniform, came out of the cellar with their own weapons.Arriving at the tipping point near the cellar, everyone quietly waited for the final moment.

When the minutes on the watch finally jumped to the detonation time, the combat team members quickly took out matches and lit the fuses that had been dug out one by one.Looking at the smoldering fuse, the combat team members also quickly left the tipping point.

Seeing the blasting team returning safely, the leader of the team also said directly: "Withdraw! Gather at the next meeting point! Watch out for the guard posts of the little devils! Once we blow up here, other teams will definitely find a chance to do it! "

"understand!"

Considering that there are a lot of explosives buried, it may be too late to ignite so many explosive points with only one blasting team.In order to ensure that all the buried explosives can be detonated, Hu Biao also arranged several blasting teams in the city.

As for when to detonate the buried explosives, it will be considered by the leader of the first blasting team.Once the first team took action, the remaining blasting teams must also enter the detonation point and ignite all the detonation points they were responsible for.

Chapter Directory Chapter [-] This one is worth the bet!

Most of the officers and soldiers of the [-]st Guard Battalion who followed the task force lurking outside Shucheng looked a little depressed as they watched the time go by.Even if Hu Biao had said beforehand that there was a high possibility that there would be no battle tonight, it still seemed somewhat regrettable.
